Differential Effect of Dilute Alkali on Milled White Rice Produced in Niigata Profecture

(Part II) Difference of' Disintegratibility on Varieties and Property of Varieties

Abstract

Differential effect of dilute alkali on milled white non-glutinous rice was studied. There were varieties which are resistant and less-resistant to alkali solution. The variety that matured in early season was resistant and the variety that matured in late season was less-resistant to alkali solution.
